What inspired you to join the team?

I was inspired by the 2017 team, especially Jordan, Mary and Stephanie. The co-founders of Type One Run, James and Craig, also inspired me to take on my first marathon for Beyond Type 1.

What’s in your diabetes management toolkit?

I use Loop- a DIY open source artificial pancreas. It automates my insulin delivery using Dexcom and a Medtronic 723. Running has always been my favorite way to clear my head. A plant based diet, podcasts, and good cold brews are essential to my holistic care!
